Paragraph 30 – introductory part
30. Still strongly regrets that, accordingRegrets that, despite repeated calls from the European Parliament for establishing a single seat, and the fact that citizens of the Union do not understand why the European Parliament should divide its activities over two the Court,seats, so far the European Council did not even commence a discussion on how to meet Parliament´s requests in this respect; recalls the 2014 ECA analysis which estimated the costs of the geographic dispersion of the Parliament amount to EUR 114 million per yearto be EUR 114 million per year; notes, furthermore, the finding from its resolution of 20 November 2013 on the location of the seats of the European Union’s Institutions1a that 78 % of all missions by Parliament statutory staff arise as a direct result of the Parliament's geographic dispersion; emphasises that the report also estimates the environmental impact of the geographic dispersion to be between 11 000 to 19 000 tonnes of CO2 emissions; reiterates the negative public perception caused by that dispersion; reiterates its call on the Council to develop a comprehensive strategy in order to agree on a single seat for Parliament; takes note of the additional costs linked to Parliament’s 12 journeys per year to Strasburg, which can be broken down as follows for 2017: _________________ 1a OJ C 436, 24.11.2016, p. 2.

Notes that the new Parliament’s travel service, which had already worked with the Parliament, will start operating on 1 January 2019; welcomes the fact that the new contract contains strengthened conditions, in particular with regard to ticket pricing and the availability of the travel service’s call centre at all times, including at weekends; stresses again the importance of a simple and user-friendly complaints mechanism to quickly highlight shortfalls, which allows for speedy resolution of any problems; emphasises that attention needs to be paid to the specific requirements of Members and their need for tailor-made services; is doubtful that services will significantly improve since former BCD staff will be taken on by the new travel service;
